In this thread I found the Xperia S ICS Keyboard APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699296
I was hoping to get all the new available ICS settings on GB. But that didn't happen. The app still updated though and the keyboard feels faster and more responsive.
EDIT:
I removed the 'updates'. And checked the old version. The new and old one are both 5.2.A.0.1. However the file sizes vary a lot.
'Old 5.2.A.0.1' is 672kb and the 'New 5.2.A.0.1' is 2,38MB. A big difference.

Has anyone tried this on the Atrix yet? How is it? Is the autocorrect still the same as the original keyboard?
here's a thread with a GB-kB that you can install alongside the stock keyboard, and it has the autocorrect fixed to work like the original.

installed the gbkb-en.apk on mine and it works but because of the higher resolution the keys look a little small for my liking
Hello guys,
this is my first post here so far and since there is no Q&A area for the ray, I hope it's OK to ask here.
On my Xperia Ray I'm currently running RayOniumICSv.5 which is essentially a modded Stock ICS with the usual Xperia interface.
I'd like to change the layout from the phonebook, either preferably the way it looked like on 2.3.4/ GB with the four seperate buttons on the lower edge
or like on the Xperia S with still only three button on the lower edge, however with a direct button for favourite contacts.
I already tried something similar with the keyboard. Since I prefer the old, grayish I simply copied the textinput-tng.apk and overwrote the old, which worked well so far.
Trying the same with the Phonebook.apk unfortunately didn't worked out. ICS essentially accepted both (I unpacked them from different ROMs), however both times with flaws: The GB Version turned out to work, yet the typepad section seemed to be flawed and unable to use. Using the Xperia S version, no call logs were displayed.
Is there any other possibility to redesign it?
I prefer the old layout the most because of the seperate buttons and especially because the favourite or starred contacts were directly accessible where in the ICS layout you have to go there over Groups -> Favourites. Another reason as well is the old list layout which is more assessable than the newer with (rather clunky) icons.
Thank you in advance!
The bane of ICS for me and my OCD is the terrible mixture of froyo and gingerbread style sony apps with the new ICS theme. I'm sure it goes against the conventions set in google's guidelines on how to make apps for ICS and its slowly but sure driving me me me much more insane.
I would be grateful on a discussion of what can be done to remedy this dreadful plight... I have gathered a couple of ideas but I am looking for more!
1. The music player has ghastly bubbles in its corners and does not fit with ICS theme.
in this thread:

Lasanda links to a thread with an APK that updates the default player to a walkman version ripped by doomlord which can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676013
also I would suggest trying out vanilla music player, it's open source and works with the new lockscreen as well as having widgets that work in other launchers. I can't get the album artwork to work on my mini though (while it works no problem on an android mediaplayer I also have) so would appreciate if anyone else has any input.
2. The home screen's capped framerate now looks laggy since the ICS ui has significantly improved graphical performance from extra use of the GPU. The color scheme and style of the bubbles is also out of phase with the new ICS theme. They shoulda just changed the bubbles for futurisitic triangles or something.
- the best I've managed so far is replacing with zeam
3. call screen : bubbles/
-no idea, if anyone has any clue what to do here if and how to replace the call screen I would be happy and give you my thanks.
Apart from lack of encryption and this poor theme, ICS is good for me. Please share any more tips to improve it further though
thanks
Does anybody here has a Stock launcher from the ICS release? I noticed it is relatively quick compared to the one found on my Xperia Pro/Neo. I found one home.apk that supposedly is the one found on the LWW, but I installed it and it seems the same way as it regularly does (witch dock, no corners). Am I doing something wrong?

Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers

Doesn't work for me too

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.
